Last Day in Paradise

Last full day so we all went to the aquarium. 


The kids aren't bored, really, just a little tired. There was a lot to see. 

They'd seen so many fish they were beginning to feel like one. 

There were all kinds and types. 

Even sea horses. 

And a few that didn't look real, till they moved, which you had to be patient to see as it didn't happen often. 
Living in a blue screen room, they begged for photoshop. 

We got to hear lots of explanations of just what we were seeing and even got in on feeding time in the big tank. It had rays and sharks as well as all the other, shallow reef fish. It is one of the better aquariums we've seen, but they all have their unique displays. 

Haven't seen any humpbacks, they are starting to show up, but they'll be back in numbers soon. 

Gonna try for one last sunset in a few minutes so...........

Stay Warm!
